    Custom firmware build for R7800 v. 1.0.2.67SF & 1.0.2.67.1SF

    Thank you! Is there any reason not to do the permanent change yet (i.e. if it gets fixed in firmware, any reason we want those resolving as normal or doesn't matter?)

    Custom firmware build for R7800 v. 1.0.2.67SF & 1.0.2.67.1SF

    Any idea how to fix this? How did you edit the hosts file? Getting millions of queries a day as well. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    r7800 - Stubby vs DNSCrypt-Proxy Performance?

    Thanks, yes I'm sure there is a better way, perhaps getting pihole right on r7800. Not that pihole is a necessity, but it is a "nice-to-have feature" haha.

    r7800 - Stubby vs DNSCrypt-Proxy Performance?

    Thanks. It seems every time I try my internet goes down. Maybe some conflict with Pihole. I will just go without DNS TLS/HTTPS for now.

    r7800 - Stubby vs DNSCrypt-Proxy Performance?

    I was thinking of running either Stubby or DNSCrypt-Proxy on my router instead of on the Pi (currently running PiHole). Is there any difference in performance between Stubby or DNSCrypt-Proxy? I saw some posts saying that DNSCrypt-Proxy was faster when compared (using Cloudflare on both to...

    r7800 with AC 9260 and HT160 Inconsistent Link Speed

    Oh really, so you recommend actually disabling HT-160 and MU-MIMO features even if supported?

    r7800 with AC 9260 and HT160 Inconsistent Link Speed

    So it definitely ended up being some sort of interference. I finally got cat6 installed through my house, moved the router slightly closer but high up and now it's always 1.7gbs. This is probably a stupid question, but if 1.7gbs wifi, and assuming r7800 is max 1gbs wired, is there any reason to...

    r7800 with AC 9260 and HT160 Inconsistent Link Speed

    Seems like it must be unfortunately. Does leaving HT160 on hurt overall wifi performance for any reason? For example, if I'm only reaching 936 mbps at max where I have the intel 9260 desktop and usually its 702 or lower, and no where else in the house has HT160 devices, should I disable it on...

    r7800 with AC 9260 and HT160 Inconsistent Link Speed

    I actually am on the official firmware .62 now and it’s exact same in this regard (although overall much better than netgears past firmware in other aspects). Strange that just one room away and I’m having it drop this much if you’re seemingly getting much better even further away. I have no...

    r7800 with AC 9260 and HT160 Inconsistent Link Speed

    The LT doesn't fluctuate when within that 6-12 feet or so, stays at max it seems. I tried with the "Transmit Power Control" down to 50% and 75% for both 2.4 and 5g, no difference. I also turned off beamforming and MU incase for some strange reason, no difference there either.

    r7800 with AC 9260 and HT160 Inconsistent Link Speed

    The laptop gets 866 link speed (max for that since not ht160 device), when within the same room basically, and almost right away when within 6-12 feet of router. I tried with 11k off and was the same, so just turned it back on. I also tried using a DFS channel since recommended by insidder to...

    r7800 with AC 9260 and HT160 Inconsistent Link Speed

    So after further testing, it seems like as soon as I step outside the room that the router is in, the link speed drops. Surprised since it's not that far at all. I tested on a laptop, next to my Desktop it fluctuates around 250 - 450 mbps, but the second I step into the room the router is in, it...

    r7800 with AC 9260 and HT160 Inconsistent Link Speed

    Very strange. It's a brand new Desktop PC, updated all the drivers. It's a PCI-E intel 9260 card but even the 8 version did same thing (except without the HT160 part obviously). The distance from router to PC is probably around 25 feet (1 wall in between since room over). The "Enable 11k" is...

    r7800 with AC 9260 and HT160 Inconsistent Link Speed

    Whenever I connect to my 5G network from my PC, it shows link speed correctly as the maximum data rate (1,733 for the HT160) but only for less than 30 seconds then starts to go all over the place, is that normal? For example, it drops to 800 then 450 then 200, then 180, then 500, and up and...

    Netgear R7800-X4S Firmware 1.0.2.60

    Just in case it helps anyone else. I have been using the latest Voxel update, was working great for a couple months, then the wifi started randomly dropping in and out but not consistently (except for this past weekend). Got annoyed and finally did a full factory reset. Still using voxel's...
